The UK government will spearhead work on a cross-government anti-corruption innovation hub, which aims to “connect social innovators, technology experts and data scientists with law enforcement, business and civil society” to work together on innovations on anti-corruption.

The hub will be a collaboration between the UK and nine other countries, including Norway, France, Mexico and Ghana, and it will be incubated by the Government Digital Service (GDS).

“The UK is determined to lead the fight against corruption, which is why we are committing ourselves to increasing transparency, introducing additional criminal checks, and creating an anti-corruption hub,” he said.

The government is already in talks with several organisations – such as Vodafone, Thompson Reuters and Transparency International – on the hub, which is supported by the Omidyar Network.
